What Is 12 Days of Sketching?
12 Days of Sketching is an art jam that takes place from midnight BST on the 20th of August 2023 to midnight BST on the 1st of September 2023! It is a sister jam to the 12 Days of Sketch* (Sketchmas/Sketchster/Sketchoween) game jams which usually run around public holidays/events.
Post Jam Update: You can see a lot of the entries to the jam on the Creations community thread
How It Works
Try to create one piece of art that utilises one or more of the jam prompts each day of the jam. The jam isn't ranked so you don't need to feel pressured by being judged or scrutinised in the hopes of encouraging creation for its own sake.
What Can I Make?
You can make any kind of art from sketches to fully rendered paintings, 2D/3D animations to sculptures! If you make games, feel free to make art assets for one of your games!
If you would like a little extra challenge, you could try to make 1 huge artwork and add something to it each day.
AI Art
AI Generated art is NOT allowed by itself, however using AI generated art as a reference for your creations is acceptable, provided the final work(s) you create/submit has/have been made by you.
Extra Time
The jam runs for 2 weeks (2 days extra) just so you have a couple of extra days to get all your hard work finished and submitted! That said if you find you miss the deadline, finish the work and post it when you can! Don't feel pressured to create more than you are able.
